A single nitrogen-vacancy defect coupled to a nanomechanical oscillator

A single quantum system comprising a nitrogen-vacancy in diamond is now coupled to a nanowire cantilever. Magnetic fields can then couple the nitrogen-vacancy spin and the oscillator enabling read-out of the nanometre-scale motion.

Rapid age-grading and species identification of natural mosquitoes for malaria surveillance

Knowing the age of malaria-transmitting mosquitoes is important to understand transmission risk as only old mosquitoes can transmit the disease. Here, the authors develop a method based on mid-infrared spectra of mosquito cuticle that can rapidly identify the species and age class of main malaria vectors.

Tree islands enhance biodiversity and functioning in oil palm landscapes

A large-scale, five-year study in Indonesia finds that enriching oil palm-dominated landscapes with patches of trees bolsters biodiversity and ecosystem functioning without impairing oil palm yields but should not replace forest protection.

Germline mutations in mitochondrial complex I reveal genetic and targetable vulnerability in IDH1-mutant acute myeloid leukaemia

Mitochondrial metabolism has been associated with tumourigenesis in acute myeloid leukaemia (AML) and currently considered as a potential therapeutic target. Here, the authors show, in patients with AML, that germline mutations in mitochondrial complex I are mutually exclusive with somatic mutations in the metabolic enzyme IDH1, and find IDH1 mutant cells have increased sensitivity to complex I inhibitors.

Giant osmotic energy conversion measured in a single transmembrane boron nitride nanotube

A very large, osmotically induced electric current is generated by a salinity gradient between the ends of a single boron nitride transmembrane nanotube, owing to the anomalously high surface charge carried by the nanotube’s internal surface in water at large pH.

Ultrahigh interlayer friction in multiwalled boron nitride nanotubes

Carbon nanotubes (CNTs) and boron nitride nanotubes (BNNTs) have similar surface crystallography and mechanical properties. It is now shown that the interlayer sliding friction in multilayer CNTs and BNNTs is, however, different: whereas the telescopic sliding of semi-metallic multiwalled CNTs is known to be vanishingly small, multiwalled insulating BNNTs exhibit ultrahigh interlayer friction that is proportional to the contact area—a result ascribed to the ionic character of boron nitride.

Dynamical backaction cooling with free electrons

Cooling atoms and ions to the quantum ground state is generally achieved by resonantly coupling their mechanical motion to an electromagnetic wave. Here the authors report self-induced cooling based on sub-nanometre confinement with an electron beam, rather than an electromagnetic resonance.

Bidimensional nano-optomechanics and topological backaction in a non-conservative radiation force field

A study of the coupling between a nanowire and a focused light beam allows determination of the vectorial structure of the optomechanical interaction, and demonstrates that bidimensional dynamical backaction governs the nanowire dynamics.
